So, he had set his sights on the cultivation technique of the Profound Yellow Sect and planned to check out the situation there.

With his Nascent Soul Realm power, coupled with his identity as an Array Master, the Demon Beast Forest naturally couldn't stop him.

The only trouble was those disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect.

Not being able to kill them is a big problem.

It seems I can't take a forceful approach. I have to reason with them and appeal to their emotions, just as I did with Luo Chenjun!

Feeling the Array fluctuations behind him disappear, Luo Yuan also understood that he had completely severed ties with Luo Chenjun.

If they met again in the future, they would probably be adversaries.

"Don't laugh at me for standing alone; don't bully me for being weak. In my heart, I have a crosswise blade and horse ready for battle; in my heart, I have a dream lasting ten thousand years..."

Nascent Soul Realm? In this Northern Wilderness, that's enough to behave recklessly without impunity! As long as I don't actively seek death, I, Luo Yuan, will be a hegemon in this Northern Wilderness. Profound Yellow Sect, here I come!

...

Meanwhile, things were looking pretty grim for Xu Nian.

「Profound Yellow Sect.」

Players were fighting with fiery enthusiasm, using all sorts of methods to snag their rewards as soon as possible.

And Sect Leader Xu Nian?

Taking advantage of the absence of the players, he had sneaked into the Blood Demoness's seclusion spot, hoping to dual cultivate for a bit.

But what happened?

He was taught a lesson by the Blood Demoness herself while pinned to the ground.

In the end, he could only exit tearfully while clutching his sore lower back.

Looks like forcing Daytime Alms doesn't work out. My body seems unable to handle such indulgence!

Inside the Side Hall, the Blood Demoness flushed with shyness as she thought of Xu Nian's hasty retreat. A mysterious smile appeared on her lips.

Perhaps these were the days she had yearned for. What did it matter if the sky fell or the earth caved in Outside? As long as she was with Xu Nian, it was clear skies!

Xu Nian sat on the steps outside the door, rubbing his sore lower back while contemplating the tasks ahead.

The players had finally settled down, and what remained was to develop step by step.

However, the matter with the Luo Family was still a thorn in his heart.

Luo Chenjun had disappeared, as had the mysterious Luo Yuan. Their vanishing was, after all, a potential source of trouble for Xu Nian.

Troublesome times indeed. It's high time to develop the Profound Yellow Sect. I can't stay in the Demon Beast Forest forever; the players need to get out and explore more.

Xu Nian took a deep breath and walked towards the Great Hall, his steps slightly unsteady.

「Celestial One Daoist Sect.」

Players had already commenced vying for the final victory.

Various dark horses emerged at this moment.

Dung Beetle and the four members of the Ao Xiang Squad had fought their way out from a thousand players, which was the biggest highlight.

At Lingxiao Hall, they also encountered problems.

Apart from Old Mo and Junlin, almost everyone else was eliminated.

Abbess and her team met Dung Beetle and the Ao Xiang Squad, and unexpectedly, an accident occurred.

In the end, among the top ten, in addition to Dung Beetle and the Ao Xiang Squad, Old Mo and Junlin also felt the pressure multiply.

This was because the remaining three were no pushovers.

The Iron-blooded War Hero from War Alliance unleashed Armament Haki, beating up anyone he saw without mercy. The Magic he learned was fire-based, effectively showing his Bottom Card early.

Cloud Lament's player, Chaotic Dance Steps, also successfully secured a place.

As for Flourishing Flowers, she ran into Steady as an Old Dog from the Ao Xiang Squad and was literally dragged to death.

The steadiness of Steady as an Old Dog was even more excessive than Dung Beetle's. He strengthened all forms of protection and, instead of engaging with Flourishing Flowers, he just kept escaping.

By relying on his agility, he managed to drag Flourishing Flowers to death.

The last one was Ping Dao Xuanqing of the Second Legion.

His Water Element Spells were arguably the strongest among the players, allowing him to forcefully make his way into the final contest.

Other players who were seen as promising were eliminated one by one.

The biggest regret was for Half-Leaf. With his Wood Escape, he could have definitely made it into the top ten, but unfortunately, he encountered Old Mo early.

After Old Mo got close, he directly eliminated him.

The father-son battle did not happen, but in the end, both father and son had ended their journey.

The top ten players were determined:

Old Mo.

Junlin.

Dung Beetle.

One Blade 999.

Starting with a Dog.

Output Relies on Shouting.

Steady as an Old Dog.

Chaotic Dance Steps.

Iron-blooded War Hero.

I, Xuanqing.

The top ten players had secured at least the minimum of the rewards.

"TSK TSK, the Third Test Players are rising! It's surprising to have four Third Test Players in the top ten."

"Rising? What can they rise up to playing with Dung Beetle?"

"Haven't the Ao Xiang Squad members revealed the cultivation techniques they've learned up until now?"

"Damn, now that you say that, I'm intrigued. They seem to have not shown their real power yet."

"To others, their squad is probably a formidable obstacle."

"..."

At this moment, players were also quite optimistic about Dung Beetle and the members of Ao Xiang Squad.

After all, the only four Third Test Players in the top ten were from the Ao Xiang Squad. If they could make it to the end, that would be quite a show!

The top five would be decided from the top ten!

And from the five, the top three places would be contested.

So, the players' contest truly began from this moment on.

"Old Mo, looks like you're up against Iron-blooded War Hero," Junlin said with a smile. "Be careful. Like you, he's taken the path of close combat."

Old Mo furrowed his brows, speaking in a grave tone, "What worries me right now isn't his power, but Dung Beetle and the Ao Xiang Squad."
